For short haul on 6-9 passenger all-electric aircraft is about a factor of five for small commuters, ten at most (500 kWh to 1 MWh). This is about the same level of electric truck charging infrastructure currently in development. Google HPCCV and such.

You may be thinking about larger aircraft but that is not what I am talking about.
